Summary

I am a Regulated Pharmacy Technician with 23 years of experience in retail pharmacy. I have worked at the same company and in the same pharmacy for my whole career which shows dedication and loyalty. I would like to use my years of experience in the pharmacy field and branch out into a different area pharmacy. I am hoping my experience and dedication are something that would benefit AHS and be beneficial at the Calgary Corrections Centre.
